Welcome to Snowmen Week!

There has been a longstanding tradition at our school (thanks to the past art teacher's creativity...none of which I will claim here), Model Magic Snowpeople. It's a fun, easy project to do, and the kids expect it every December because they bring them home and give them as gifts to their loved ones.

The main objective for this project is to create a mini-snowman sculpture that can either be displayed on its own, or used as an ornament. Students can change the color of the model magic by dabbing watercolor markers into the clay and mixing it around. There are endless possibilities for details that can be added to these snowpeople, and the students really get creative when making them unique.

About Me

I have been teaching elementary school art for the past nine years and I LOVE what I do! I am a teacher who creates more messes than I can clean, thinks that glitter makes everything look better, and believes that art can bring people of all cultures together.
